This weekend

We had a busy, but SUPER fun weekend. 

Freddie and Luke got up early on Saturday and took Freddie's car to Buffalo Gap to be on display for the Boy Scouts pinewood derby races.  Everyone was really nice and enjoyed getting to see a "real" race car up close.  The boy scouts were in awe. 

Luke played some basketball.  He did really good.  Last week, he scored 14 points, I didn't keep track this weekend, but I think it was just about 6 points or so.  Anyway, it is really fun to watch him play. 

It was such a beautiful day outside, nearly 80 degrees, we decided to go to the park and enjoy the sun!  Luke invited a friend from school, Tate, to stay the night with him.  So, we park was more fun for Luke, since he had a friend there.  Freddie was suffering from the cedar allergies, horribly.  So, we went home and got him some medicine.  Tate and Luke shot the pellet gun and played outside. 

 

I told Luke that I would take them to the movies to see Yogi Bear.  Avery wanted to bring a friend, so she invited Caleigh and we picked up some pizza and headed to the park to have dinner in the park.  Luke and Tate even at pizza while sitting in a tree they had climbed.  We headed to the theatre and got our 3-D glasses, posed for a few picks with the movie poster ( I have no idea why these kiddos posed this way), but it was so fun to see the so excited to watch this movie. 

 This morning, we made donuts, the kids decorated and ate them.  And it is becoming abundantly clear, that no kid can resist the stairs.  Every kid that visits our house loves to slide down the stairs, multiple times.  Here is Tate sliding on his belly, the perfect superman pose ;)  Lastly, the boys wanted to build a spaceship, so they dug around in the garage, found some empty boxes and went to work crafting a pretty awesome spaceship.  It was so much fun to see them use their imagination and not be tied to a TV or video game.  I did not care that it made a HUGE mess, oh right, that was Avery breaking up the large pieces of styrofoam into tiny little balls.  Luke was quick to let me know that he and Tate didn't have any part of that :)

 

Sorry some of the pictures are blurry and out of order.  I don't have time to work with blogger to get them all in order.  But it was such a fun weekend.  My kids are getting older and it is such a pleasure to watch them grow.
